Dr. Commons is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).

What are the benefits of tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”)?

A tummy tuck procedure is performed in order to remove excess skin and fat, alleviate the appearance of stretch marks, and repair separated rectus (abdominal) muscles. In some instances, an abdominoplasty is performed in conjunction with liposuction, in such cases where the candidate is overweight by 50 to 100 pounds.

Am I a good candidate for abdominoplasty?

Do you have loose, hanging skin in the abdomen region (hanging panniculus)?

Are you physically and psychologically healthy?

Do you have realistic expectations?

Do you have future plans of getting pregnant?

Do you know the risks and benefits of abdominoplasty?

Are you currently on a regular diet and exercise plan, or plan on starting one?
